For those of you tuning in to other sources, Anduril had to make a detour to San Fran due to broken steering, and many other boats suffered blown out spinnakers or broken steering cables after our recent night of squalls.
Early this am, our new weather routing was suggesting that we wanted to be further South than we currently are (not by too much though... surprising we haven't messed it up totally yet - we will find that out tomorrow night), so we got to gybe.
This was the first gybe of the trip, so now we are all getting used to leaning the other way. A few spilled drinks, pots heading the "wrong way" in the galley, and a whole new way to steer.
We should be on this gybe for most of the day, but new weather is coming out momentarily so plans may change again soon.
It is a maintenance day today...time to deal with any food spoilage casualties, main cabin vacuum (yes, 7 guys on a boat will vacuum, eventually), water filter changes, etc.
We also had fresh made muffins this am and are enjoying a fresh breeze after terrible winds overnight.
Will send more updates soon,
The boys on Turnagain
